While there are many variations on each of the following steps, all applications/petitions shall be submitted to the Village, on forms provided by the Planning Department. 1. Pre-Application Meeting A pre-application meeting, while not required, is strongly suggested. It should be scheduled with the Village’s planning staff as soon as possible in order to explain and answer any questions the applicant may have on the Village’s review process. During the meeting, staff will outline the application process and steps. Reviewing the Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan and Official Map, and other applicable documents will assist with the process. All of these documents are available on the Village’s website: www.plainfieldil.gov or for review. 2. Applicant Submittal Applicant submits all required forms, plats, plans, and letters to the Planning Department per applicable application and attached checklist. Submittals must comply with Village Ordinances as well. The Planning Department assigns a case number and opens a case file which will include copies of all submittals, copies of all reports and/or letters, planner and engineer comments and recommendations. All required items must be submitted together. Failure to do so will constitute an incomplete submittal and may result in a delay or disposal of items submitted. 3. Public Hearings Annexation, rezoning, special use, and variance cases require notification of the public through a public notification process. The public notification process includes three (3) forms of public notification, as follows: • Notice is published in a newspaper of general circulation a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled public hearing meeting, with certificate of publication. (Completed by the Village.) • Service of written notice to adjacent property owners (excluding public right-of-ways) as found in the Will or Kendall County Recorder’s Office by certified letter with certified return receipts of notification.

Plan Commission and/or Zoning Board of Appeals The Plan Commission meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The Plan Commission will review the application, all submittals, and the staff report and recommend one of the following: approval; denial; approval with stipulations; or continuance. Staff will submit a written report and recommendation of the Plan Commission to the Board of Trustees. All recommendations of the Commission on any application shall be advisory in nature and shall be subject to final consideration, evaluation, and determination by the Village Board. The Village Board of Trustees meets the first and third Monday of each month. The primary contact will receive a copy of the staff report, as prepared for the Village Board, several days prior to the scheduled meeting. 6.
